PICKETING OF
PECAN PLANTS
IS CONTINUED
'Special to The Herald)
SAN ANTONIO. July 19 — <# —
Warehouses were glutted with pe-
cans Thursday as fresh carload lots
of the nuts continued to arrive and
complicate the problem of storage
while thousands of striking pecan
shelters peaceably picketed the
city's 400 small shelleries. according
to M. Rodriguez leader of the
striking Pecan Shelling Workers
union.
The strike leader Thursday claim-
ed that numerous car loads of
pecans had been purchased all over
the state for July and August de-
livery under a plan to get the
shelling don<? In the slack period at
the low wage scale of three cents
for halves and two cents for pieces
It was expected that the opening
of shelters > in July height of the
slack season in the shelling indus-
try. would insure plenty of shelters
accordm to Rodriguez.
The plan has been thwarted by
the strike of 8.000 shelters for a
wage scale fit six and five cents.
Rodriguez said.
Shelling contractors have begun
to turn back pecans to various com-
panies whose storage space like
that of the shelling contractors is
rapidly being exhausted according
to Rodriguez
By the end of the week Rodriguez
claimed. 100 carloads of pecans will i
be in the city.
The San Antonio regional labor
board in a statement issued through
Roger Busfield. Its executive secre-
tary. has announced its inability to
do anything in the matter because
of the lack ol a labor code in the
pecan shelling Industry'. The labor
board calls the strike a walkout or
refusal of shelters to contract their
services at a scale they consider in-
sufficient.
The board calks it a walkout be-
cause the workers refused to go to
work Monday when contractors
opened the shelleries which had
been previously closed because of
the slack season. Rodriguez des-
cribes it as a strike for higher ;
wages.
